A feature of only the 1909 issue, and for only half the year and at one mint, San Fransisco: Victor David Brenner’s initials on the back. The public felt the artist’s initials were too prominent so the mint walked it back in all subsequent designs. You can still see Frank Gasparro’s FG at the lower edge of Lincoln’s bust though.
I once had a VDB, that sadly as I child I lost track of. I don’t like to think what it would be worth today.

A 1911 Austrian illustration, titled The Women’s Day. The flag says Equal Rights.
shit, @slybevel already wrote about the boring pistol. Should I delete my 1911 entry? It took me too long to find a genuine 1911 image…

Nah, leave it. I figure as long as they’re in order, two or more if they’re unique of the same number is fine.
Oh and thanks for calling the 1911 (with what, like 5 links?) boring!
Guns are boring. Every tool with only one function is not very stimulating.

Canon de 105 mle 1913 Schneider
(Artillery is not boring, I’m fascinated by all the over-the-horizon and indirect fire stuff. And if you like it I will call you right wing - I’m here to pleasure my discussion peers.)
